Do you also get assblasted every time someone says the phrase "centrifugal force"? You seem like the sort of person who'd do that.

holy shit yes. i dont get it. why does every dimwitted sci-fi writer uses it despite the obvious flaw that only one in a million times it does not conclude in a paradox. and thats the case if they simply dont explain it properly. its just retarded

So what? Scientific technicalities apart, theory can be used as a synonym for hypothesis, so unless you are in rigurously professional context or have assburgers, I don't see why you wouldn't use that meaning of the word.

Highschool dropout with 6th grade level understanding of mathematics here. That's extremely easy to calculate in your head, it must be broken down into parts. 17*10*3-17.

I understand the point and that it's just an example, but in this case the only issue is becoming flustered. The asker is a moron.

Time travel really only makes sense if it involves stable time loops. That way you dont have to worry about any bullshit paradoxes.
